I cannot ever recall having seen such a beautifully expressed viewpoint on
this subject as that put forward by Adrian Perez, with whom I am entirely in
agreement.

Perhaps my favourite quotation, from St. Anselme, has some bearing on this
matter:

"I do not understand because I believe, but I believe that I cannot
understand unless I believe."

and I do NOT think this makes me a so-called "creationist". I find the
current polarization into which people are being forced as sad as it is
dysfunctional.
